LONDON, U.K. (16 October, 2023) – Today Disney+ reveals the release date for the new Disney+ Original unscripted documentary series “Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1© Story”, a remarkable tale of success against adversity for the £1 Formula 1©racing team.

The series stars Keanu Reeves (“John Wick” and “The Matrix Resurrections”)as host and executive producer, in addition to Formula 1©legends Ross Brawn, Jenson Button, Nick Fry, Rubens Barrichello and Christian Horner. The unscripted documentary series hosted by Keanu Reeves tells the remarkable story of how Ross Brawn, in 2009, competing in the most expensive and technologically advanced racing series on Earth, made the impossible happen.

With access to the F1 archives – much of it previously unseen – this series brings you along for the ride to victory, led by British F1 driver Jenson Button and Ross Brawn.
This series is a North One production developed, written and produced by showrunner Simon Hammerson with three-time BAFTA-winning executive producer Neil Duncanson and directed by 2022 Broadcast best sports documentary winner Daryl Goodrich, with Keanu Reeves as host and executive producer.
